Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetals in Sediment Cores from Nine Coastal Lagoons in Central VietnamStefania Romano, Cristian Mugnai, Silvia Giuliani et al.Problem statement: After being dramatically hit by war events, Vietnam is presently experiencing a huge economical and social development. However, very few data, relative to pollution levels and trends, are available for the correct management of critical areas such as coastal lagoons, where many economical activities are linked to high value environmental features. Approach: A set of sediment cores from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 9 Mar 2012 · 8,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Shrimp Farm Effluent on Water Quality in Coastal Areas of the World Heritage-Listed Ha Long BayThuyet D. Bui, Jim Luong-Van, Chris M. AustinProblem statement: Shrimp farming has rapidly developed in coastal areas of the World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay since the last decade. Effluent discharged from shrimp farms with high levels of nutrient waste may cause eutrophication in receiving waterways. Therefore, assessing water quality at tidal creeks receiving shrimp farm effluent in coastal areas of Ha Long Bay supports environmental protection and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Mar 2012 · 11,289 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariation of Surface Ozone Recorded at the Eastern Coastal Region of the Malaysian PeninsulaAida Shafawati Ismail, Mohd Talib Latif, Siti Zawiyah Azmi et al.Problem statement: Variations of ozone (O3) concentrations in the Eastern Coastal Region of the Malaysia peninsula were investigated using data obtained from the Malaysian Department of the Environment. The aim of this study was to determine the monthly and seasonal variations of ozone concentrations at all monitoring sites. This study deals with the air quality data recorded at four air … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConcentration of Zn, Cu and Pb in Some Selected Marine Fishes of the Pahang Coastal Waters, MalaysiaB. Y. Kamaruzzaman, M. C. Ong, S. Z. RinaProblem statement: Heavy metals constitute one of the most hazardous substances that could be accumulated in biota. Fish populations exploited by man often live in coastal area environments that contain high levels of heavy metals, coming from human activities such as industrial and agricultural wastes. A problem to deal when using fishes as biomonitors of heavy metals is the relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Concentrations of Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorophyll-a in the Coastal Waters of BabolsarSiamak Jamshidi, Noordin Bin Abu Bakar, Marzieh YousefiProblem statement: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) are two vital requirements for marine ecosystems. Nowadays, discharge of large amounts of industrial, agricultural and urban wastes threats the Caspian Sea (CS) environment. With regard to the elevation of nutrient contents, average of DO concentrations in the deeper layers of the CS is reducing. On the other hand, increased amounts of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructure, Ultrastructure of the Anther, Pollen Microsporogenesis and Morphology of Pollen Grains of Two Populations of Lygeum spartum L. in AlgeriaKatia Abdeddaim-Boughanmi, Meriem Kaid-HarcheProblem statement: The Lygeum spartum L. represented by a single species occupies several regions of the Mediterranean basin. This plant plays an important ecological role in the fight against desertification and economic development in the manufacture of paper pulp. Approach: However, the cytogenetic studies in mitosis in this species revealed the existence of two ploidy levels: 2n = 40 among … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Metals (Pb and Cu) Contamination in Bottom Sediment from South China Sea Coastal Waters, MalaysiaM. C. Ong, B. Y. KamaruzzamanProblem statement: The accumulation of metal contaminants in sediments can pose serious environmental problems to the surrounding areas. Trace metal contamination in sediment could affect the water quality and the bio-assimilation and bioaccumulation of metals in aquatic organisms, resulting in potential long-term implications on human health and ecosystem. Approach: About 154 bottom sediment samples were collected using Smith McIntyre in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,995 accessesView PDFCite

This research investigated (i) whether land uses have downgraded the coastal areas (ii) to which degree the determination of land uses can play an important role in the reduction of environmental … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling the Effect of Salinity on the Multivariate Distribution of a Water Quality IndexDaniela cocchi, Michele scagliariniSalinity is a tracer of water and nutrient flows and is employed in studies on coastal environment to establish the coastal or remote origins of pollutants and nutrients. The present article analyses the effects of salinity on the multivariate distribution of the Trophic Index TRIX. The approach taken is based on a multivariate nested model with salinity as an explicative … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 5,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple Antibiotic Resistances of Vibrio Isolates from Coastal and Brackish Water AreasS. Manjusha, G. B. Sarita, K. K. Elyas, M. ChandrasekaranAn experiment was designed to assess the occurrence of multiple antibiotic resistances in Vibrio spp. from different (brackish and marine) environments. Water samples from nine marine landing sites and two coastal inland aquaculture farms were screened for the Vibrio spp. and assessed their resistance to twenty-two different antibiotics, which are commonly encountered in the aquatic ecosystem. Tissue samples (shrimp, mussel … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,082 accessesView PDFCite
